A pentest finding that keeps coming back
Patching it fixes this quarter's report. A dependency check in the pipeline stops it coming back next quarter.
DevSecOps for SMEs & startups · South Africa
Teleios is a DevSecOps consultancy for SMEs and startups. We have solid foundations across software, security and cloud, and we work where they meet: securing systems, building them, and automating the repetitive work that slows a business down. We also build and run our own ERP, StoreSuite, so our advice comes from keeping production software running.
approach
Most problems we see don't sit neatly in one discipline. They sit between development, security and operations, where specialists hand work over the wall to each other. We'd rather understand enough of every layer to see the whole problem.
looks like security → actually delivery
Patching it fixes this quarter's report. A dependency check in the pipeline stops it coming back next quarter.
looks like cloud cost → actually application
Bigger servers treat the symptom. Often an integration is polling every few seconds when a webhook would do.
looks like data risk → actually access
Encryption helps, but shared admin accounts and API keys nobody rotated are usually the real gap.
looks like staffing → actually automation
Hiring another admin treats the symptom. Connecting the systems and automating the report gives those days back.
We don't claim to be the deepest specialists in every field. We build solid foundations across all of them, which is why our founder works as a DevSecOps engineer rather than in a single discipline. When a job needs deeper specialist knowledge, we have that covered, and you still deal with one point of contact from start to finish.
who we work with
Serious engineering, sized for businesses that don't have an enterprise budget or an enterprise IT department.
startups
A secure cloud setup, a delivery pipeline, and a pentest before your first big customer asks for one.
growing SMEs
Automate the repetitive steps and connect the systems you've outgrown, so your team spends its time on the business, not the admin.
established SMEs
Security reviews and POPIA readiness for the systems you already run, with findings in plain language.
services
Four areas that usually overlap. Most projects touch two or three of them.
